The two-day sprint for spiny lobsters offshore of the Treasure Coast and Florida begins at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Divers who scouted over the weekend discovered that visibility and lobster availability is very spot specific, so successful divers might require several reefs to gather their 12-per-person daily bag limit.
